Finally received Espgaluda 2, can't wait to try it when I get home. Picked up the drumpad also and I gotta say it is pretty damn good, one of the sharpest d-pads I've ever tried.

And finally the PAL English version of the Samurai Shodown Anthology, pretty damn hard to find these days, got lucky with my local Gamestop.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Movie Gallery going out of business sale FTW. Only paid $50 for both.

(And yes, Koei-Tecmo owns my soul apparently.)

 

[spats]

some ps2 essentials

 

[sixteen-bit]

And I will be spending the rest of my night listening to Loveless now.

Saw them in concert in Seattle last year, great show. I thought my ear plugs weren't working, so I took them out. Nope, turns out they were working just fine. MBV is just that loud.

I just flew into Tokyo...

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Finally found a clean, working, and functional wave bird at my gamestop for $10

Good Find! I always check a Gamestop for these when I go in because they are criminally low at that store. I'm surprised they haven't figured out the true value of these yet as they are aware of other items that are rare like Tetris DS.

Ghetto K-marts always seem to have a few of the wavebird/marioparty pack-ins laying around..

Unfortunately mt Kmart isn't ghetto enough.

 

[eternaLightness]

Traded some old stuff and got BC2 yesterday. Got Infamous from my bro.

 

[isny]

Man this month is going to be expensive...

Last month was already expensive enough with the $500 cobalt flux...lol

 

[ExMachina]

Actually picked up Heavy Rain on launch (late Feb.), but my Windows 7 disc just came in and I didn't want it to be a super sparse pic.

What's up with the new look for Kix? Trying to push it as a "healthy" kids cereal, I guess. :lol

Unless you drown the Kix in a pound of sugar.

 

[Durante]

I also just "picked up" a beta account for starcraft 2. Today has been a good day.

 

[OMG Aero]

Sonic Classic Collection

What is that game like? Is it actually a good port of the games unlike the one on GBA?

 

[Sora_N]

^ $3 a piece, so figured wtf and got them. :lol

Also preordered some games.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Bad Company 2

Pickup of the month from the looks of things so far.

 

[isny]

So far the port is flawless.

It also allows you to save anywhere.

 

[Lkr]

I need to get a camera so I can start posting my pickups

 

[Hop]

Kinda stretching what can be considered a pickup, but...

First Rock Band Network song I've authored went up for sale! So of course I got a copy for myself.

 

[alr1ght]

BC2 and rented DS to see if I like it

 

[Alucrid]

I know no kid who fell for those commercial, Kix is poo poo.

You better watch yo' self. That stuff is kid tested, mother approved.

Spoiler

I like the taste.

 

[practice02]

My actual last post this month bid'ness cards!

If anyone is thinking of making cards I got some 15% off coupons, message me and one is yours.

Anyone else sick of the "OMG I'm artsy so I'm only gonna take a picture of the corner of the box in black and white" pics?

Nope.

 

[zorbsie]

Terrible phone pics but here is today's score:

And for those wondering how the discs are stored in the case:

 

[Lard]

 

[ngower]

Back:

Abba - "The Album"
General Public - "All The Rage"
Benny Goodman - "Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert Vol 1 & 2"
Various Artists - "The Big Chill Original Motion Picture Soundtrack"

Front:

Geroge Gershwin - "An American In Paris"
Various Artists - "The New Sounds of Country"
Andre Kostelanetz - "Carnival Tropicana"
Various Artists - "Cabaret Original 1966 Broadway Cast Recording"
Sly and the Family Stone - "There's A Riot Goin' On"
Cameron Dragon - "Over The Waves"

Most are in good condition, bought them for about $12 total, give or take. All used, but the Abba, Goodman, and Dragon records all still had shrink wrap on them, albeit torn in areas.

I nearly had a heart attack when I found the General Public record for $1.50!

 

[Lard]

My parents have that Big Chill record.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

I've been lurking on NeoGaf forever and the monthly pick-up thread has always been my favorite. So, it makes sense that my first post here NeoGaf post is on this thread. Anyway, here is my only pick up so far in March.

This is the cover of the new Freeway and Jake One Album. Instead of going with a regular Jewel Case, they went with a collectible wallet.

When you take the front strap off, the outside of the cover becomes large currency with the artists on it, and the inside wallet is revealed.

Inside is a wallet, the CD itself, a "credit card" containing the download link for the instrumental version of the album and the money that goes in the wallet.

Plus it's a good album. Pretty cool in my opinion.

 

[Toy Soldier]

Abba - "The Album"

<3

The Album rocks, making it no different than every other ABBA album. Great buy, always!

Take a chance, take a chance, take a take a chance chance...

Most of the General Mills boxes (I've seen Trix, Lucky Charms, and Cheerios) lately have been "retro" boxes, so that may be what is going on there.

 

[tim.mbp]

$20 Amazon.

 

[Robobandit]

wow.. another packaging fail for the 360... that's every multi-disc rpg to date packaged like crap.

I thought it was just microsoft published games.. but obviously not :lol

 

[Mutagenic]

Sly and the Family Stone - "There's A Riot Goin' On"

Very nice find.

 

[Fantastical]

Plastic Beach is fantastic

I <3 Gorillaz

*high fives*
I shall be getting Plastic Beach soon. The Stylo music video is insane. :lol

And for those wondering how the discs are stored in the case:

Man, they really gotta knock this shit off. Why can't we get decent multidisc cases in the US?

 

[NathanMcMahon]

You know what can fix that? The PS3 version. I'm sorry I had to say it.

 

[rainking187]

Well, I probably will be getting this for the PS3 when I get around to picking it up, but there's no excuse for this packaging. I bought Blue Dragon and exchanged it a couple of times because the discs were always too scratched up by this packaging before I just said fuck it and got my money back.

Yeah, I do agree this packaging is shit. I'm just lucky enough that I have both consoles so the choice is easy for me.

Blue Dragon was one thing.
Lost Odyssey took it a step further.
One disc in a paper sleeve. Like what the fuck?
